1	IP addressing - zend	Each Super Node zend instance MUST be able to establish connectivity, inbound AND outbound over a public IPv4 AND IPv6 address.
2	IP addressing - nodetracker	Each Super Node nodetracker instance MUST be able to establish connectivity, outbound over a unique, IPv4 or IPv6 address. The IP address used for the nodetracker MUST be one of the two IP addresses (IPv4, or IPv6) employed by zend i.e. it does not need to be an additional unique IP address.
3	DNS entries	DNS entries MUST be present for BOTH the IPv4 AND IPv6 addresses which are assigned to zend - therefore BOTH an A AND AAAA record for the Super Node FQDN are required
4	CPU specification	Super Nodes MUST have access to a 4-CORE CPU, virtual, or physical
5	RAM	Super Nodes MUST have a minimum of 8GB of physical RAM
6	Disk space	Super Nodes MUST have 100GB of available space (not including OS and main blockchain)
7	Stake balance	The stake transparent (t) address MUST hold a minimum of 500 ZEN to qualify for Super Node rewards and had not been used as a stake for a secure node. Funds MUST be kept in a transparent (t) address where you control the private keys
8	Uptime	Super Nodes MUST achieve a minimum uptime of 96% of the reward period to qualify for rewards (for that specific reward period)
